Upon request , we also teach and discuss choices they may be facing in the coming years related to drugs and vaping. Lastly, we have students practice building each other up and being kind to each other, and
encourage them to do their part in making their school and their community more kind. The assembly includes compelling videos, stories, and opportunities for students to practice
complimenting one another.
